Hello!
I’m Matthew Oftedahl
Freelance 3D Artist, Character Developer and Creative Guru
About Me
I have the soul of an artist and the mind of an engineer. Whether designing machines or Dungeons and Dragons characters everything has a reason and a purpose.
3D programs such as Blender and Zbrush are my favorite, they allow me to design a master copy of a character to use as a reference later on.
Not only that but it allows me to bring my art into the physical world for all to see. I own 2 3D printers, one of which I’ve built myself, and they have been a blessing for my passion.

My Latest Projects
Ärr Skala, the Blood Mage Lizardfolk is a current character in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that I am in. Using a mixture of ancient runic magic and blood rituals he puts himself at risk to keep his tribe alive and thriving in the harsh jungles.
A warrior of the arcane arts. The first sprite I’ve designed for a test video game I am working on. Inspired by the game Duelyst I hope to incorporate strategic gameplay along with a pleasing pixelated style.
Have a character in mind? Want something printed?
